Common English name:
Lesser Tube-nosed Bat
Barcode Index Number:
DNA barcodes recorded as
M
.
suilla
are associated with four BINs,
BOLD
:
AAE
0000,
BOLD
:
AAE
0001,
BOLD
:
AAE
0003 and
BOLD
:ABX8091 but there are no DNA barcodes from Peninsular
Malaysia
.
Remarks:
Simmons [

] recognises two subspecies:
M
.
s
.
suilla
(
type
locality:
Java
) and
M
.
s
.
canescens
(
type
locality:
west Sumatra
). Whether the two clusters suggested by our NJ analysis (S8 Fig) represent the two subspecies remains to be determined.
IUCN status:
Least Concern
